Obamacare just got $111 BILLION more expensive..WTF???

[Listening]

Lawmaker Wants Answers After Cost Estimate For Health Insurance Aid Rises By $111B | Fox News

Cost estimates for a key part of President Obama's health care overhaul law have ballooned by $111 billion from last year's budget, and a senior Republican lawmaker on Friday demanded an explanation.

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., wants to know by Monday why the estimated ten-year cost of helping millions of middle-class Americans buy health insurance has jumped by about 30 percent.

So do I.



Yeah. Can't imagine why they were buried in that deep, huh.

About two-thirds of the increase is due to effects of newly signed legislation that raises costs for one part of the health care law, but still saves the government money overall. The rest is due to technical changes in Treasury assumptions about such matters as the distribution of income in America.

I find this difficult to believe, based on the track record of this administration.

Expect a new tax added to our pay-stub. About 15% or more.

We currently have 25% of your pay taken away before you see it.

Add another 15% to that.

We won't miss it.

Yes, we will all be to healthy to miss it.

Oh wait...we are already healthy because most of us have good insurance.

But, wait...now a bunch of illegals will be healthy...or young kids who never get sick will be health....but they already were.

Now, I am confused.

 

[The T]

it would seem the intelligent liberals on this board are either too scared to try and spin this in a positive light, or simply realize they cannot do so.

I would go with option 'C' of both.

well we could try by simply saying that we are gonna spend $111 B on health care for americans, instead of $111B to fight a war in Iraq and rebuild another country. better money spent at home than abroad.

So do I.

The revised numbers, buried deep in the president's budget, stumped lawmakers and some administration officials for most of the week. At a congressional hearing Tuesday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who is in charge of carrying out the health care law, indicated she was unaware of the changes.

Yeah. Can't imagine why they were buried in that deep, huh.

About two-thirds of the increase is due to effects of newly signed legislation that raises costs for one part of the health care law, but still saves the government money overall.

Imagine that. Maybe because obamaturd and the rest of the idiots who pushed this socialist piece of crap bill LIED!!!!

 

[Trajan]

did GreenBeard post yet to till us why this is?

oh wait,we have to spend the money now to save it later....thats whats going round in the HHS boiler rooms I hear...


Obamas's version of "We had to destroy the village in order to save it".....


the financial future of obamacare is absolutely indefensible now, not that they weren't told and they certainly didn't care......

Does anyone really think that we would be able to provide healthcare coverage for 30 million Americans at no cost? It think the costs in the long run will be very small in relation to benefits to the nation.

[Greenbeard]

Folks, relax. The numbers you think of when you think of the cost of the ACA--the numbers it was "sold" on if that's how you prefer to think of it--were the CBO estimates.

The CBO estimates for exchange subsidies + exchange cost sharing reductions for 2014-2021: $519 billion.

The FY2013 budget request from the White House for exchange subsidies + exchange cost sharing reductions, 2014-2021: a little less than $524 billion.

A rather small discrepancy.

Why the FY12 White House request undershot the CBO estimates so far, I don't know. But the expected cost of the law hasn't increased by $111 billion.

and???

dude...this is the plan to do that...is it not? and?


any cost savings they jigged in , that is forward loaded fees taxes whatever they used to 'balance' it in the first 10 years which the CBO scored, has just been pulled forward, making this plan a financial balls up IN its initial 10 years.

and who the frig told us we would have better care more access all the while adding more to the roles?


OBAMA did....


the dems did and they acted on it and here it is, between the waivers, the CLASS act crashing now this? come on man...wtf...?
